News Round The Clock (NRTC) reports that the comedians have been in the news since 2006 over their lingering rift, with both avoiding each other publicly.

The duo made their first public appearance together after reconciliation in September 2024.

However, reflecting on the impact of their beef during the latest episode of the ‘Glass House‘ podcast, AY noted some damages caused by the long time fight.

Speaking at the reunion, AY said, “I didn’t know when the fight started. I just noticed it started. Every day I wake up thinking boys will be boys and like that, it grows into several years. People were spreading more rumours about it till it lasted that long.

“Our feud caused some damages because in a way we were like providers for people.”

Basketmouth added: “Most times people swear allegiance by default. So when we were not on good terms some people made it their business.

“There was a guy that picked side and came at me. Now that we are cool, he would be confused. It is a collaboration over competition.”
